We have been using your Cereal, and
as you will learn from investigation at
Washington, your Malt Breakfast Food
'lass had an increased sale. Alter giving
it a thorough test and after consultation
with a leading chemist who has analyzed
it, we re about to eass the attention of
the lalstonites to the food. This will
prebtbly increase the sale many thousand
dollars per annum. We do this all freely;
and we will not except any remuneration,
direetly or indirectly, our sole purpose
being to help the public get pure goods. .
If we have saved you anything in the way
of advertising we hope you will give that
much to the public in reduction of the
cost to them.
Very truly yours,
RALSTGX HEALTH CLUB.

In the matter of Improved Telegraph
Service the Charlottetown and
Summerside Boards of Trade unite.-l and
sent ajoint' memorial to Sir L. EI. D ivies,
Ministerof Marine and Fisheries, and to
each of the Island representatives at
Ottawa. This memorial. reminded the
Ministers that the cxorbita it rates, the
.short hours during which the Tglgnraph
Odice is open and the refusal to take
night 1116555808 operate seriously to the
detriment of almoft every business
interest on the Island, not only imposing
a tax upon our messages not experienced
in other parts of Canada, but causing
frequent vexatious delays- and sometimes
serious losses. These conditions have Been
longendured and now that a strenuous
effort is being made to bring about a
better ` order of things a. measure of
impatience exist in the _public mind
coupled with the earnest desire to have
an improved service at reduced rates
quickly brought about. `
Gentlemen, you are all aware that die
’ winterniail service is one of the mast
` important matters occupying the
attention of the businesscommunity. This .-
Board recogizing the fact has usel its
best efforts to have the service as perfect
as possible under existing conditions. Last

Th 3 direct slieamshlp question was not
lost night of during the year. It receivei
the earnest attention of the Board and
every etfort was put forth to have suit-
able steamers call at this port. Sir Louis
Davies did all in his power to aid us, but
unfortunately owing to the South African
war, for which' the British Government
reiuired all steamers available, nothing
could be accomplished. However the
prospects augur brightly for the coming
season. The Council conferred with the
Minister on his last visit to the Island
when it was decided to haves direct
steamer call here four times during the
comiiig season namely, in May, Septem-
ber, October, and December. Steamers
to be fitted with cold storage facilities and
rate of freight to he not higher than from
Montreal. One of the chief events of the
year for the mercantile. agricultural
and stock raising industries was the
holding of ii Provincial Exhibit on in
Charloticzown, open to the sister Pro-
vinces. It was a pronounced success and
in the best interests of the Island. 1
